Simple question- I'm still searching for a new HDTV, but one issue I've ran into is compatibility with closed captions on DVDs. I know that the old-style TV-decoded closed-captions (not to be confused with the player-generated subtitles- many discs have both, some have just one or the other) do NOT work through HDMI. I've seen them work through the Component Video connection on a friend's Vizio LCD TV, but just played with a Mitsubishi DLP at a store today and they did NOT display through the Component inputs, they only did through S-Video.
If anyone with a current HDTV has the time, I'd appreciate if you would just check a captioned DVD though the component inputs and see if they display or not, and let me know what brand of TV you have. Thanks in advance for your answers. If that's too much trouble, or if you don't understand what I'm asking, then just don't answer and sorry for wasting your time reading this!
